With the demise of the Singing Senators quartet [Sen. John Ashcroft (R-MO, defeated), Sen. Larry Craig (R-ID, “stalled”), Sen. James Jeffords (R I-VT, wised-up), Sen. Trent Lott (R-MS, money!)], I would like to propose a new group: The “Singing” Republicans.
The new quartet would be composed of former and soon-to-be former Republican office holders who have had some stuff to sing about:
Sen. David Vitter (R–LA)
Rep. Mark Foley (R–FL 16)
Sen. John Ensign (R–NV)
Gov. Mark Sanford (R–SC)

rhp6033 spews:
Personally, I don’t think marital infidelity which doesn’t impact the duties of an office-holder is an impeachable offense or necessarily calling for the resignation of the office-holder. It may be a sin, by my values, but not a disqualier for office. Sometimes we don’t want a saint to be our leader, and we do have separation of Church and State under the 1st Amendment.
But it was little more than ten years ago that Newt Gingrinch in the house, and Ensign in the Senate, led the charge against Clinton, loudly proclaiming that marital infidelity was proof that he was unfit to continue in office, that he had “dishonered” the Presidency by his conduct, and he should resign immediately or be impeached. Of course, that was before we knew that Gingrinch was, at the time, boinging his own intern in preperation for divorcing his second wife, and before Ensign engaged in his own extramarital affair, and numerous other “family values” Republicans were caught engaging in sexually immoral conduct of one type or another.
So, holding them to their own “standards” certainly seems appropriate.

Then I Googled “Argentina child prostitution”
BINGO!!
“Argentina has a well-documented child sex trade related to thriving sex-tourism sector.
Argentina is one of the favoured destinations of the pedophile sex tourists from Europe and the United States.”
http://www.globalmarch.org/res.....entina.pdf
“Research undertaken for Unicef Argentina has revealed an increase in the extent of child and adolescent prostitution in the country. ”
http://web.archive.org/web/200.....;NewsID=24
” . . .young prostituted children and adolescents can be seen on the streets of towns such as Puerto Iguazu (Argentina) and Puerto Iguazu (Argentina). In the region, close to 3,500 children below 18 years of age are estimated to be victims of commercial sexual exploitation.”
http://www.protectionproject.o.....entina.doc
What was the Govenor really doing on a “secret” trip out of the country where the child sex trade runs rampant???
This gov.has been lying from day 1. And, he’s still lying. The “I’ve been cheating on my wife” is something the media will swallow hook, line, and sinker.
But I say there’s still more to the story. His trip ought to be looked at more carefully by investigative reporters!!

@20 They disbarred his lying ass for that. What more do you want? Drawn and quartered? The punishment was appropriate for, and proportionate to, the offense.
Given that Clinton wasn’t actively involved in the practice of law, his disbarment didn’t directly affect his employment, and it was up to his employer (the American people) whether he would lose his job or not.
Personally, I wish they had tossed his butt out of office, and Gore had run in 2000 as an incumbent. That would have spared our country 8 years of unimaginable incompetence, corruption, and cupidity.

20 Lessee here. First, this Sanford guy bails on his family on Father’s Day to go ten thousand miles for a little extracurricular rumpy-pumpy, pulling strings that sure as hell ain’t available to you and me to quietly and swiftly slip out of the country–hell, I’ll betcha he didn’t have to take his Goddamned shoes off. He gets his office staff and his wife to lie for him, then when he comes back, he first tries to claim that he just went all that way “to break up” with the senorita in question. Finally, after everyone stops laughing, he finally admits he was banging the hell out of her.
No, he isn’t the President…but he probably had a pretty good shot at being the next Republican nominee, and on a strong “family values” theme at that. Apparently the urge to dip his todger in some south-of-the-equator lady’s…uh, south-of-the-equator was sufficient to make him rationalize that he could get away with all this. I dunno about the rest of y’all, but I feel rather relieved that someone with judgement this bad didn’t wind up in the Oval Office with his finger next to the Big Red Switch.
This pretty much takes hypocrisy and hubris to a whole new level, even beyond Senator Wide Stance, whoever tried to pass Jeff Guckert off as a member of the White House press corps, and all the things Rushbo’s rumored to be into…oh, wait. I forgot-Limbaugh isn’t an officeholder. Kind of easy to forget when the GOP leadership are all following him so closely that if he stubs his toe they’ll all break their noses on his butt.
Roger Rabbit spews:
@26 Exactly who lied for Kennedy? As I recall, his indiscretions usually hit the front page the next day.

The right wing apologists are back at it – but the facts are that another republican leader with a strong “family values” platform has gone down the rabbit hole with lies about illicit sexual affairs.
Vitter (family values Republican Senator) and his prostitute.
Craig (anti-gay republican Senator) and his bathroom stall
Ensign (leading republican candidate in the Senate, big on family values) and his year long affair and now
Sanford (I won’t take stimulus money -oops, I did anyways, family values republican with four kids and head of the republican governors) and another year long affair.

rhp6033 spews:
Hmmm, all the talk about the mid-1970’s figure Wilbur Mills reminded me of another alleged alchoholic, Martha Mitchell, wife of former attorney general and convicted Watergate consipiritor John Mitchell.
Martha Mitchell would make rambling, slurred phone calls to reporters in the middle of the night, proclaiming her husband’s innocence and claiming that the Nixon administration, including Nixon, Haldaman, Erlichman, etc. were the really guilty parties behind Watergate, and they were trying to make her husband the scapegoat. She also claimed that government and Republican Party agents were keeping her locked up against her will and sedated so she couldn’t easily talk to reporters.
At the time, the Nixon administration was able to portray her as being alchoholic and mentally ill, and dismiss her allegations as the ravings of a lunatic. Certainly, it seemed that such allegations were beyond the pale of reason. But as the Watergate investigation proceeded, it turned out that most of what she claimed was true.
In the end, her name was attached to the “Martha Mitchell” syndrome, in which a patient’s complaints are mistakenly dismissed by a health-care professional as being the result (or evidence of) mental illness. Kind of like the character Sarah Conner in the Terminator movies, who gets incarcerated in a mental institution because she insists that machines are going to take over the world and seek to destroy humanity. Or, to put it another way, “Just because you are paranoid, doesn’t mean that people aren’t really out to get you”.
A piece of trivia I didn’t know which appears on the Wikipedia article about John Mitchell: During WWII, he was a commander of a PT Boat squadron in the Pacific, which included the boat commanded by John F. Kennedy.
